Special Education Community Advisory Committee (SECAC)
SECAC and HCPSS encourage and welcome parent
involvement in every phase of a child's educational journey. In
the area of special education, parent involvement is crucial.
SECAC is dedicated to
educating parents, educators and the community in matters
unique to the needs of children and young adults with
disabilities. By identifying unmet needs of students, parents,
and the many professionals who work with them, the committee
advocates for constructive change and the supports that are
necessary to provide quality educational opportunities for all
students. SECAC is committed to the principle that all
students can learn and that they will contribute something
unique and invaluable to our community. To that end, SECAC
seeks to create acceptance and respect for persons with special
needs within our schools and society. SECAC strives to work
in a mutually respectful and collaborative manner with educators
because it recognizes the vital importance of the home-school
relationship for successful outcomes.
